Plugs & Voltage

Plugs: In Croatia & Greece, the standard plug type is Type F, which has two round pins and an additional grounding pin in the middle. Type C plugs, which have two round pins without the grounding pin, are also commonly used. An adapter will be needed to plug devices into the outlets.

Voltage: The electrical voltage is 230 volts, and the frequency is 50 Hz, whereas in the US, the voltage is 120 volts, and the frequency is 60 Hz. Therefore, if electrical appliances from the US are to be used in Croatia & Greece, a converter or adapter will be needed to match the voltage and frequency. It's important to note that not all converters are the same, and one suitable for the specific appliances needs to be chosen.

Day 1: Flying to Croatia
✈️️
Flight to Croatia

This morning, a person boarded an international flight to Dubrovnik, Croatia.

  • This has been independently booked.
Day 1: Welcome to Croatia!

Game of Thrones helped to put Croatia on the tourist map, but savvy travelers have been visiting this Balkan gem for years. A city's museums and restaurants rival those in Paris or London, but the underlying spirit of the old city is a refreshing change from its Western European neighbors. Outside of the city, Croatia is one of the most biodiverse countries in Europe. Take your pick from limestone caverns, technicolor lakes, and the paradisal Adriatic islands.

Private transfer

Private Walking tour

Famed for its sheer beauty, glorious history of a one-time republic, and majestic ramparts, Dubrovnik righteously bears the title of “Pearl of the Adriatic”. The city center is filled with famous landmarks, so it's more like a giant open-air museum instead of a city (it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

You'll make stops at Europe's oldest pharmacy hidden behind a monastery, a palace honoring the mighty dukes of Dubrovnik, and of course the medieval city walls, some of the best preserved in all of Europe. And no tour of Dubrovnik would be complete without some handpicked stops at iconic filming locations from the show Game of Thrones.
